This book includes articles representing the new data on the flora and
climatic conditions in different remote areas of the North Pacific that
are still poorly investigated. Readers are introduced to the flora of
some islands under the influence of the Pacific Ocean. Data on oceanic
areas can be compared with data on climatic conditions and flora in
continental areas also included in the book. The diversity of mushrooms
in a transitional area is given. Special attention is given to:
interrelations between vegetation and sea birds; the germination of
seeds of Russian Far East plants; the effects of the Okhotsk Air Mass on
summers in Japan; and ethnobotanical traditions in Kamchatka, Chukotka
and Alaska. Data on the flora of the active Avachinsky volcano in
Kamchatka will give a baseline from which changes can be monitored after
eruptions.
